♡ Chapter 57 ♡

"Excuse me..." Ron said.

But that man didn't give him a side to walk past him.

So Ron just started walking in the roads from footpaths.

"Stop Ron." Brandon said.

"How'd you know my name?" Ron stopped and asked turning to him.

"How do you know Stella?" He asked without answering Ron.

"How do you know my name?" Ron asked back as he didn't answered his question either.

Both are stubborn as hell.

"Answer me first, Ron. That would be good for you." Brandon said. "How do you know..her?" "Why man? Who are you to ask that?" Ron asked losing his patience.

"That's none of your business." Brandon said. "Yeah right. How I know her? That's none of your business too!" Ron started walking past him. But Brandon stopped him with his hands and pulled him closer by his collar.

"You see Ron, you don't want to mess with me. Neither do I. I asked you just a simple question and you're testing my patience with that? I'm Andre. Andre Brandon. Now tell me.... how do you know her and what do you know about her."

Ron started freaking out as he heard the name. Andre Brandon? What has he to do with Stella? - he thought.

"You see we, I mean I just live close by and.. and her little sister likes me a lot. We used to play together sometimes and thus one day Stella came and we talked."

"You got feelings for her?" Brandon asked raising an eyebrow maintaining a serious look though he is almost bursting out laughing looking at Ron's condition.

He's freaked from the time he knew that Andre Brandon is talking to him.

Ron didn't know what to answer.

"You should be honest, I won't do anything to you or Stella. I just want to know." Brandon tried to calm him down.

"Uh... uhmm..uh, yeah. I like her." Ron said. "How much?" Brandon asked.

"I don't know. A lot maybe." Ron said.

"But didn't you said you loved her, just a few moments ago?" Brandon asked again. "Ye-yeah." Ron stuttered.

"Is that why you told shit about her to Zach?" Brandon became serious now.

Ron thought how Brandon knew that.

"Ok okay! Easy! I love her and I want her to be mine. So... yeah I am responsible for their breakup." Ron spill the beans out of nervousness.

"Knew it. Though thanks for that but don't get so close to her, or else Williams will have to take care of you." Brandon said and Williams just loaded a gun to make him flee away.

Ron was scared but didn't flee away.

Brandon got into his favorite Porsche and drove away really fast, like a cheetah.

The next day, morning.

Stella went to her balcony and saw Madison walking through the road that was in front of her balcony. Main problem was now, that Zach's back.

"Should I attend classes today? What what if he comes and and what if he comes in front of me my any mistake? I'm totally gonna blow up for sure!"

She felt her head aching for overthinking like that. She went inside the blanket to relax a little. And soon she was almost asleep.

Deborah enters the room.

"Really?"

She said while crossing her arms over her chest, looking Stella still sleeping.

"Stella, come on, get up already."

She bonked her head and Stella woke up jumping.

"Oh mum, it's you." she said while stretching her arms.

"Don't you have a college to go, miss?" Deborah asked mockingly.

"Now, off with you go." saying so she left Stella to get ready.

For the first time in record...Stella got all ready in just 5 minutes. Soon she left the house with Beth.

"Hey...I heard you and Zach broke up?"

Beth asked looking at her.

"Yeah, right information but who told you?" Stella asked with concern.

"It's Niall." Beth replied in short.

"That's good for you anyways. You deserve better." Beth pouted her lips after saying. Maybe trying to have a cute impression on Stella but Stella is just feeling lame.

"Bye-bye. See ya." Beth waved her hand and left the car running.

"Mmm bye."

Stella seemed to get lost in her nightmares. God knows what she was thinking so deeply that when Niall came by, she didn't even noticed.

"Umm Stella?"

Niall asked from her right, standing outside the window.

"Uh yeah?" Stella looks at Niall.

"Oh Hi Niall. How've you been?" Stella asked while starting the car.

"I've been better. Tell me about yours." he asked.

"I'm good." she said and Niall knew she was hiding something.

"Let me try again, how have you been Stella?"

"Okay well I'm good but I've been thinking about Zach and lot lately... like more than I even thought when we were in relationship." Both become silent for awhile.

"What are you doing outside, well get in. We're gonna be late for college." Stella said.

"Oh yeah, right. I totally forgot." he came inside. "Let's go then." he said.

Stella headed to college and she noticed something different today.

"Umm Niall. Answer me honestly what happened?" Stella asked with raising one eyebrow.

"What do you mean 'what happened'?" Niall asked back.

"You are not smiling like you always do so....oh come on now, I know you at least. You can trust me. What is the matter?"

Stella kind of gave him a little comfort. So, he was just about to explain what happened but that's when they reached college and sad Niall saw Martha and he blew up.

Niall just got out of the car and said, "Thank you." and left without even hearing the 'welcome' from her.

"Now I see what this is all about." Stella said and went to the parking spot. She came back with her keys spinning them around her finger. Just suddenly she saw Zach walking by in front of her.

It felt like her heart suddenly stopped. She couldn't move. She even couldn't breathe. She watched him from a distance so Zach didn't see her. But here she's almost dying. She tried to breathe through her mouth and suddenly she inhaled a lot of oxygen. She literally started crying on that spot. It's so hard to breathe in this situation so she didn't cried much.

She took some deep breaths in and out. Again and again. Then she started walking to her classroom. She already prepared herself to face Zach.

But to her surprise when she entered the classroom, she neither saw Zach nor Madison.

She looked at everyone's face but no. Exactly Zach and Madison are missing.

"Where are they?" she asked shocked.
